Spatial Information System for Management and Control of Electrical Substations

This article proposes the development of a simple, flexible and portable system that will allow carrying out management, maintenance and inventory tasks in electrical substations. The Spatial Information System (SIS) permits to incorporate, through an immersive virtual environment, information about electrical substations, as well as progress in automation CAD/CAE design (Computer Aided Design/Engineering). The SIS provides an immediate knowledge of the substation spatial distribution through an interactive navigation, facilitating any type of technical question as consulting planes (sections, elevations, plants), database (files, queries) and the dimensional analysis of any object. To this end, the SIS developed can be applied to the management and complete control of a substation at the same time as a platform that encourages collaborative engineering or CAE engineering.
